I may be getting a bit off topic here, but I couldn't resist this true feeling of mine. Perhaps there was a time when this planet was safe, but I truly don't believe that it is anymore. I often think in all seriousness that leaving the state I'm currently residing in would be a very wise move. But then I read posts from all over the country (the US) that make me believe that perhaps leaving the entire country would be even wiser. But further reading of posts from other countries and the misfortunes that happen to people in far away lands, makes the idea of leaving the entire planet and starting completely anew sound actually like a good idea. If it were technilogically, financially and physically feasible, that is.
However, I still don't know aboaut going straight to their government/leaders - they might be just as corrupt as IMO ours is. All hypothetical, of course.
But, I still have a hard time believing that there have been aliens here all along doing secret business with the government. Maybe at first that's who they went to, but by now, wouldn't they have made themselves known to the general population?
